About Us

At Watervale Equity Partners, we are experienced private equity investors dedicated to partnering with owners and management teams in the lower middle market to develop and execute strategic plans and operational improvements that generate long-term, sustainable value. Our collaborative approach builds trust with management teams and is proven to drive results.

Our Strategy & Approach

Watervale Equity Partners was founded with the purpose of providing consultative capital solutions to lower middle market companies. With decades of investing and operations experience, we are able to collaborate with management teams during the diligence process to identify and evaluate potential opportunities for growth, talent and resource development, and operational improvement. We then partner with management teams to prioritize and execute those opportunities post-acquisition. We believe that this collaborative, partnership approach will continue to be a key driver of our team’s success.

Investment Criteria

We seek control investments in growing lower middle market companies with defined criteria in specific sectors where we have experience and prior success. This allows us to act quickly and decisively throughout the transaction process and provides for more opportunities to create value post-acquisition.
